The cop who killed unarmed black teen in Wisconsin on Selma anniversary as its revealed the victim was recently convicted for being involved in an armed home invasion
Didn't know if this was already posted.
Sad when a young person loses his/her life in a situation like this. Tony's family have stated , "..... described Robinson as a 'beautiful kid' and that he 'wouldn't hurt a fly'...."
My thought was that they spoke of him from knowing him during his younger years ,and maybe didn't know him very well in recent weeks/months ?
Or he was just hanging out with the wrong group at the wrong time kind of thing ?
If the altercation happened the way the Madison PD described that it did , ".. an altercation in which Officer Matt Kenny, 45, was knocked down by a blow to the head, .." Imo, I do not believe this was excessive force. (I realize that last sentence sounded bad. )
Years ago I'd watched a documentary about police departments, and one bit of info. that stood out was -- they (leo's) are trained to 'not let themselves get knocked off their feet' . In some states you can most likely get arrested just for grabbing at a police officer , so to punch one and knock him to the ground is serious.
It could have happened that the le officer was ambushed and knocked down and then panicked.
Robinson's mother says he has ".. never been a violent person."
There will be a thorough investigation , without a doubt about that.
Again my opinion is that even unarmed, a person can still be very dangerous.
Just sad all around. Rest in peace to the young man who may have made terrible mistakes that ultimately cost him his life.
